Do you budget a lot of time to get ready for a date…or are you always rushing to put the finishing touches on your hair and makeup while frantically deciding what you're going to wear?

I wonder if this guy told his date, "I'll be the one holding the giant clock over my face."

I always felt like showing up late started the date off on the wrong foot, so I'd try to get there right on time. But I totally understand how easy it can be to run late because, well, I'm guilty of it.

For our first date, Dan and I planned to meet at the Museum of Modern Art. I was held up at work, so I felt awful when I strolled in and saw him waiting patiently for me—20 minutes after we'd arranged to get there. D'oh.

What do you think? Do you make a point of arriving on time? Are you always early? Or, do you usually show up late? What's the latest you've ever arrived on the scene of a date? How'd it go over? Have you ever waited a really long time for a guy? And how long does it usually take you to get ready for a date?
